We have nothing but praise for the Gallagher team that managed mum’s funeral. Our Funeral Director Sam handled all arrangements  quickly and with such empathy, we had complete confidence in him, and his recommendations. Nothing was overlooked, and Sam was able to arrange everything from newspaper announcement, church service, soloist, flowers, order of service sheets, grave opening and so on. We had nothing to worry about on the day and it all went ahead beautifully.  And a mention too for Michelle for her personal care and reassurances. I was so pleased I entrusted Gallaghers to look after our darling mum, and would, hand on heart, recommend them to look after anyone you cherish.

Paul helped us to arrange the funeral that Tony would have wanted. It’s always so difficult at these times to think of everything, but Paul was very conscientious and kept in touch throughout the whole process. He telephoned and emailed me a number of times to check everything with us. Thank you so much for your kind words and for your help to make this very difficult time that bit easier.

About Us

Gallagher Family Funeral Directors is an independent family funeral director in Keighley, and have been serving the people and families of the town and its surrounding districts since 1993.

The business was established by David and Adele Gallagher, with the aim of becoming Keighley's first choice funeral director by maintaining a personal caring approach to all families of the bereaved. Their son, Sam, has recently joined the business sharing the same vision and caring values.

The Gallagher family aims to offer the highest level of care and attention with a flexible approach to individual needs by offering clear funeral options and transparent pricing.

Gallagher Family Funeral Directors are very proud to employ carefully chosen members of staff who show the care, respect and understanding that you would expect from a family business. Every funeral director is fully trained and qualified, obtaining industry recognised diplomas from the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD).

The compassionate staff at Gallagher’s all understand the difficult nature of funeral arrangements, but believe it is always worthwhile contacting at least two businesses, so you can compare the services they offer and all the costs involved, as no two funerals or funeral directors are the same.

The team at the funeral home in Keighley will listen to you and make you feel at ease, to try and to help make the process of arranging a funeral easier and more bearable.

You are welcome to visit the premises by appointment to meet the family, who will answer any questions you may have.

Call Gallagher Family Funeral Directors now to find out more about the services they provide and begin making funeral arrangements for your loved one.

  • 5 Stewart Owen 19th Apr 2023

    Planning a funeral for a loved one is always difficult but the support, professionalism and compassion from David, Sam and the rest of the team was second to none.

    David went through all the funeral options with no hint of pressure and hard sell, he made valid suggestions and was respectful of my mums wishes.

    The service on the day was faultless, dignified and comforting. Lara, the celebrant David suggested, was outstanding. I received several comments in the days following saying how we had done Mum proud. I cannot speak highly enough of the service we got from Gallagher's.

    Thank you David, Sam and the team.

  • 5 Penny Hutchinson 16th Apr 2023

    We, as a family, have used Gallagher Funeral Directors for many years.  The service & sincerity is always 2nd to none.
    Being independent allows them to provide a very personal service, we are all individual so that in itself is important.

    From the moment I first called Gallagher's Paul was professional, helpful, supportive, friendly, empathetic and sincere. These qualities were invaluable to me and my family as we faced the most difficult of times.

  • 5 Pamela Atherton 27th Mar 2023

    We were aware of Gallagher's Family funeral directors from attending the funerals of other family members over many years and they were our immediate choice when our Mum passed away. From the very first contact we felt reassured by their kind but efficient support. Their approach is professional yet personal, with the emphasis on personal choice. They guided us through and helped us to make choices about every aspect. Our family knew what kind of celebration we wanted, where it should be, who should lead the celebrations etc and David and the Gallagher team helped us with every single detail, even suggesting things we had not thought of. Their fee structure is also very transparent with everything clearly explained. The overall process was meticulously managed, and we would not change a thing. Thank you to the whole Gallagher team.

  • 5 Mark Scarborough 20th Mar 2023

    Sam Gallagher was so helpful in facilitating the arrangements for our recent interment service. He made many helpful suggestions and contacts with the appropriate people or authorities. Everything went really smoothly as a result and it was as positive an occasion as an event like this could be. 
    Thank you.

  • 5 Marina Jovanovic 11th Mar 2023

    Would definitely recommend Gallaghers - Everyone was so helpful and we dealt mainly with Paul who is the most kindest, caring and compassionate person you could wish to meet and who couldn't do enough for us, taking all the stress out of our mums final journey - thank you all so much.

  • 5 Michael Steventon 9th Mar 2023

    We couldn’t have asked for more help and understanding, very professional yet kept a very personal touch.
    So glad we chose you . Thanks so much.

  • 5 Judy Curtis 6th Mar 2023

    From beginning, when my my mum passed away, to the funeral taking place, the team from Gallagher's have been marvellous. Polite and respectful all the time. Simon remembered us from arranging my dad's funeral 4 years ago and coordinated my mum's too. They are totally reliable and calmly supported us through all the things we had to do. Can't recommend more highly. Thank you to Team Gallagher.

  • 5 Wendy Halloway 5th Mar 2023

    I can't thank Gallagher's enough for dealing with the loss of my lovely Mum with compassion and understanding. Special thanks go to Michelle, who seemed to really understand us as a family and helped to make a difficult day run smoothly, with everything just as we wanted.

  • 5 Peter Mawson 1st Mar 2023

    We very much appreciated the time, trouble and care given by Paul and all the staff both before and during the day of the funeral, that was put into supporting us into creating the funeral that we know my father would have wanted. A job well done from a family friendly service.

  • 5 Janet Green 26th Feb 2023

    On behalf of mum and I we would like to thank Paul for his compassion during a long difficult wait for my father's funeral. His guidance was invaluable. Thank you Paul you made a very difficult day stress free!
